UK Tilers World – Searches Down!

Statistics counting visitors, hits and those searching for terms such as “Tiler World” and the likes have decreased month-by-month since February 2009 every single month.

This shows that those searching for such terms are searching much much less. In fact the February searches are more than 40% down compared to the initial month in February when our website www.uktilersworld.co.uk first went live.

On the first page of Google 50% of the 10 links are websites of ours and collating all stats on all the websites gives an even worse outcome for the term ‘TilerWorld’ and all terms similar.

If this continues it would suggest that people are searching a lot less for the website than they used to be when it was first launched. And we’re hearing all the time about tilers not getting work through such websites which can only be a result of the current climate and leading websites in the advice field increasing in traffic suggests that more and more people are looking for information regarding DIY tiling, and less are looking for professional wall and floor tilers.

Do you have your Tiling NVQ now?

There’s a poll on TilersForums.co.uk “Do you have your Tiling NVQ Now?” as it is near 2010 which is when the Government said only those with a Tiling NVQ can work on-site. And there has been discussion even saying domestic jobs are classed as a ‘site’.

Please feel free to pop over to the forum and contribute to the Poll as it’ll help give us a bit of an understanding as to what sort of percentages now have a Tiling NVQ.

Thanks

TilersForums is in talks with Tile Giant

TilersForums.co.uk which started out in April 2006 now has more than 7,800 active members with not a single one being pre-registered to the system.
